The Scarlet Report


If you read my blog with any regularity,
you might remember that I was quite frustrated 
with our new yearling pony, Scarlet,
a few weeks back.

and started to hand feed her in the mornings.

And, she made a turn-around.

Oakley is miles ahead and waiting at the barn when we arrive.

And Sadie is the official watchdog....
watching the rest of us work, while she relaxes!
